Professor Shortshanks?
This bozo can barely speak English. He's already scheduled to earn something like $50,000 per speech. Now he's going to "teach" students at one of the supposedly top Universities in the world?
- Richard M. Daley is taking the advice of the old adage, if you can't do, teach.
Days after Daley's 22-year tenure as mayor of Chicago ended, he was at the University of Chicago on Tuesday to announce he's joining the Harris School of Public Policy Studies as a distinguished senior fellow.
Daley won't be grading papers, but the dean of the school made it clear that the longest serving mayor in Chicago history will be teaching students what he knows about cities, offering a perspective they can't get from tweedy academics.
One might assume this is payback for favors granted over the past few decades:
- "At the University of Chicago we don't discuss pay for anybody and we're not going to break this rule in the case of the mayor," said the dean, whose private university version of `no comment' prompted Daley to smile broadly.
You would probably be 100% correct in that assumption.

OT --
If SCC will graciously permit -- here's the link once more to the Sun-Times story about ex-Mayor Daley's appointment to a "Senior Distinguished Fellowship" at the University of Chicago.
The concluding paragraph provides a spectacular insight into the flow of power and influence in Chicago.
"Daley will join a long list of his former aides who’ve found work at the university or its hospitals, including: former Corporation Counsel Susan Sher; former chief-of-staff John Satalic; former Budget Director Diane Aigotti; former First Deputy Housing Commissioner Ellen Sahli; former First Deputy Corporation Counsel Ben Gibson; former press secretary Avis LaVelle; former Planning Commissioner Arnold Randall and former mayoral aide-turned-First Lady Michelle Obama."

We now return you to the regularly scheduled shootings.
Wonder how many things he let pass without inspections? Wonder how big the manilla envelope in the back pocket was for this asshole! Now richie and his fucked up kid are in business together! Maybe they are selling baseball bats,and a guide in how to beat your parents!
(OT) My sister works at Midway for that female Lt. Seems she is out of her mind,and is micro-managing ever since gmack got here! She probably already found out what we all know that she will be gone! Visiting the pension board,and knowing you will be gone,hope you leave soon. Maybe a SGT. could manage that spot,and that female would be put to better use on the streets in a district with all the coppers being moved or she could just retire. She was a detective with me, and it seems her clout has moved her everywhere now clout is gone!! Your clout LT was my clout,but I am retiring next month see ya!
Listening to his dumb mumbling ass would be the worst decision a person could make. What a joke FU Daley
I'm gonna to take his class so I can fling boogers at this asshole.
Yea OK what's he teaching?? STUPIDITY 101.
Or how about... Pass the Bar Exam ON YOUR OWN IN UNDER 3 TIMES!
Harris School of Public Policy Studies as a distinguished senior fellow. Granted tenure right from the start and guess what TAXPAYERS his new school pension is granted right from the start as a TOP professior over 25 years of service EQUAL to his hidden pay into the schools pension! Another couple hundred thousand!
All the paybacks ate coming back to him now. All the zoning deals, tax breaks and anything else that was in the honeyppt and given away at taxpayer expense. He may be a bafoon intellectually, but he knows how to collect on favors legally.
This fucker couldn't find SYNTAX in the dictionary if he had a thesaurus!!!! Are you kidding me???? OMG this is laughable and SAD!!!
It just proves the age old saying doesn't it -- "It's not what you know it's who you know"
If just proves again we a a nation of sheep. We let politicians like Daley and his ilk rob us for years and reward him with more satchels of cash. The UC gave him this job? What an insult to anyone who ever attended the UC.
Now Madigan and his gang of Springfield thieves want to straighten out the pension mess on the backs of State, County and City employees. All will be paying about 3 to 4 % more into the pension if they want to keep their benefits. How about the politicians who wasted the money they were supposed to put into the pesion funds over the years? They get $50,000 speaking gigs.
Wow what a great man and an articulate man at that. I am sure he won't have any qualms taking a paycheck to at his lectures! Your an asswipe. Mr daley
Daley teaching? At the University of Chicago? More proof we're dumbing down our children.
we all know this idiot is NOT smarter than a 5th grader.
Will it be like the scene in the movie "Back to school" with Rodney Dangerfield when he was discussing business in the real world? Corruption, grafting, payoffs and bribes? Will he discuss "Infastukcher" (infastructure)? For as many times as he said that word and butchered it, I wonder if he can even spell it
No surprise from a university that employed Obama as a professor once too. Maybe they intend to open a new college – the School of Political Corruption and intend to ask Obama to join Daley when he too becomes unemployed in 2013. Maybe even Dick Durbin as well if we’re fortunate enough to see him fall too.
I think this is a great step in the history of post secondary education in our country. No longer will Democrats be forced to learn their trade in dark smoke filled rooms and back alleys. And where else but Chicago for such a lofty endeavor where there is such a concentration of talent to draw from.
Nothing new for the U of C. Remember they paid Obama's mama 350,000 per year for a no show no work job after Honest Sen. Barak Obama managed to get them millions in a state grant.
Let's see. University of Chicago. Prestigious place to be. A private education sanctuary of diversity. A distinguished faculty like no other.
1) Doty
2) Daley
If that's not enough to cause a man to reach for the Bromo Seltzer, I don't know what will.
"What he knows about [running] cities." ??? He better be careful. People might start getting nervous about that.

Scrootening The Wit And Wisdom Of Mayor Daley
Chicagoans have reacted with awe at the news that their famously inarticulate mayor of the last 22 years stands to earn $50,000-a-shot for speaking engagements once he leaves office.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/5205957-418/scrootening-the-wit-and-wisdom-of-mayor-daley.-its-common-sense
Just like giving Michelle O a very important job that was eliminated when she quit.
$100,000 was leaked to the press.
Add it all up.
That is a lot of money the King is bringing in for his 'retirement".
Why the f**k are we paying for him to have a security detail if this cock sucker makes more than ANY of us? Hell, I have been threatened several times - it comes with the job, Mayor of the City of Chicago included. Maybe if he did not fuck up so many things people would not want to kill him.
His class is entitled "how to run a city into the ground".
"Basicee, youse can scrutin' me all you want.
But I heard dat...
Those that can...do.
Those that can't...teach.
Those that can't teach...teach gym.
Who's dis guy Jim anyway?"
Prof. Richard Daley
Sounds like the Michelle Obama job. Sorry, smells like it.
Mayor Daley collects from UoC for years of favorable zoning and planning approvals for its campus construction projects. Check records to confirm.
where is fop , why no protests about a private citizen having 2 cars and a police detail
Listening to his dumb mumbling ass would be the worst decision a person could make. What a joke FU Daley

maybe it's a class on black comedy.
(infastructure)? For as many times as he said that word and butchered it, I wonder if he can even spell it

not to diminish your point, but, it's 'infrastructure'.
From the Richard Daley School of Politices.....
Rahmbo...Graduated Cum Laude
O'Bama...Graduated Summa Cum Laude
C.M Braun...Graduated
R. Burris....Gaduated
H. Washington..Graduated Cum Laude
Blago....dropped out 2nd semester(thought he knew it all)
Oh, don't worry. It's not, I'm not, heh heh, you know, I mean, he's not, it's not like the University intends to let Daley speak. (That $50,000-per deal is from a private speaker's agency he signed on with, should anyone want to listen to him.)
His U of C job is finding other people to speak -- "organizing 10 annual guest lectures for each of the next five years."
“That’s horrifying,” said Noah Moskowitz, a third year psychology major. “Mayor Daley doesn’t have the greatest track record. The parking meter deal was $70 million down the drain, and the Olympics was a horrible idea.”
Maddie McLeester, 27, an archeology graduate student...said she was surprised to hear Daley was coming to campus. “It doesn’t really fit with the character” of the school, she said.
"He seemed fine at breakfast" -- but that medication goes sideways just a little, and there he is again waving an AK-47, laughing and threatening to "stick dis t'ing up yer, yer, yer butt an' pull da trigger!"
Run!
Whatta town.
will private citizen daley keep body guard detail , chauffers , to drive him to and from his part time jobs
i thought the city was broke and rahm was cutting body guards details for alderman , now private citizens have body guards for family
is this legal to use tax payer dollars to provide citizens with two city vehicles and 24 hour protection
This is so unbelievable.Prestigous higher education in Chicago is gone. Go to U of C to be taught by the retarded version of Ali Baba and the forty thieves or go to Northwestern to learn Saws-All orgasms.Maybe after the election Michele Obama can do a class with Ritchie on Ghostpayrolling.
Evy person knows that this is just silly, silly , silly!
And now, a speech given at the U of C School of Business by Former Mayor Richard M. Daley:
"How to steal from everyone and avoid direct blame or Indictment."
Any college or university found to employ Dick Daley and John Doty will NEVER see a dime of my hard earned cash! My kids would attend UIC first!
This fucker is going to make $100k a year for next 5 years. That's in addition to his $185,000 a year pension and his $1 million plus campaign fund yet Rahm is still providing him free butlers/bodyguards and vehicles. How is this fiscally responsible Rahm?
Not only is Rahm providing 5 butlers and 2 vehicles for this asshat but they are keeping a full duty p.o. from 009 on all 3 watches over at 3540 S Normal. What the hell is that all about?
McCarthy, Rahm anyone listening?
Prof. Daley, has a nice ring to it, like dingaling. I've been laughing my ass off all week, hilarious!!!!!!!!!!. All the posts are dead on. He can't speak for 5 seconds let alone 1hour. Tooooo Funny!

Your taxes are paying for their 2nd (or 3rd or 4th?) bloated pensions!
WHO SAYS CRIME DOESN'T PAY?...certainly not Shortshanks. What a fucking travesty. Higher education my ass , i'd rather go to " Send $ 100 for Diploma College " & get my Divinity "Degree".
God. How pathetic!
"...go to Northwestern to learn Saws-All orgasms."

(This is a reference to a "human sexuality" class at Northwestern University in Evanston that concluded with a live demonstration of, well, sexuality.)
Yeah, I could not BELIEVE that! They just showed it on TV for a second, not quite showing the whole "business end." It really was a dildo mounted in place of the blade on a Sawzall, a powerful industrial handheld reciprocating saw.
You could saw a house in half with one of these -- I mean the pipes and conduits and everything. Just insane. If anything goes wrong...somehow I see an emergency room, staff working frantically...
The gal was the standardized twentysomething dirtytrendy with the lip stud, the slitty little black glasses, and the Day-Glo raspberry streak in her hair, very standard, very boring.
The male friend was the "satyr" type, that fat, degenerate face, small pig-eyes, and actual pointy ears. Some Saturday-night devil-worshiper, Aleister Crowley books, again very standard, very boring.
So craigslist, so five minutes ago.
I understand that Northwestern has dropped that course entirely now. It made a lot of obligatory noises about "free expression," but it dropped the course.
Good.

The U of C campus must be a dangerous place...
"Y'all muthafuckahs crazy up in heah!"
You. Cannot. Make. This. Shit. Up!
Shortshanks is a half step from his true station in life as a live-in forest preserve shit-shack attendant and he gets to "teach" at U of C?
O_o?
U of C should be turned into a mausoleum for this bullshit...
The overloaded mack truck of fuckery has broadsided the hearse of the ass-clown funeral...
Funny and a damn tragedy...
Tragic but damn funny...
